## 1. Essential Tech for Marketing Your Staffing Firm: Tap the Power of PPC

Why is PPC essential for staffing firms?

PPC gets the right message, to the right audience, at the right time.

Ideal for both sales and recruiting, PPC advertising uses advanced targeting methods to make your ads appear where clients, prospects and job seekers spend time online. Whether they’re searching for information on Google, scrolling through Facebook, or surfing Google’s Display Network of more than 2 million partner websites, you can display targeted ads to your ideal audience to achieve your goals.

PPC is cost-effective.

Pay per click has evolved into a sophisticated and powerful advertising tool with amazing precision. You can set your bids and cap your budget. You can target people based on their interests, content viewed (including competitors’ content), demographics, geography, status with your staffing firm, and more. All that precision helps you control your ad spend, by focusing on your exact right target audience.

PPC campaigns can be customized to your staffing firm’s changing needs and goals.

Up until recently, most staffing firms were struggling to recruit qualified candidates (healthcare, IT and other staffing sectors will continue to deal with talent shortages in this economy). Pay per click advertising has proven to be extremely effective in helping agencies build their brand, stay top of mind and convert qualified job seekers to applicants.

Now, many agencies are using PPC on the client side to:

- Generate more high-quality inbound sales leads. By targeting staffing buyers and decision-makers with ads that address their “pain points,” and then using remarketing ads to “follow” clients and prospects around the internet, your staffing firm can stay top of mind with employers until they’re ready to buy.

## 2. What’s Working in Staffing PPC? (These results seem too good to be true…BUT THEY ARE!)

Citation: What’s Working in Staffing PPC? (These results seem too good to be true…BUT THEY ARE!), James Moul, 2024-05-01, passage 1, https://www.haleymarketing.com/resources/ask-haley-blog/whats-working-in-staffing-ppc
Source: https://www.haleymarketing.com/resources/ask-haley-blog/whats-working-in-staffing-ppc

Picture this:

- 1,452,166 brand impressions in just six months.

- Over 3,000 new website visitors flooding in.

- Monthly visibility in 5,000 Google searches.

And to top it off, Google My Business photos that outshine competitors by a whopping 1,000%. The best part? All of this achieved with a monthly budget of less than $1,000.

Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it?

But it’s not some marketing fairy tale. It’s the real data from a single branch office of a nationwide staffing franchise that tapped into the power and affordability of local PPC advertising. (Check out the full case study here.)

So, what exactly is local PPC, and how can it revolutionize your staffing firm’s digital strategy?

What is Local PPC?

PPC, or Pay-Per-Click advertising, is a digital marketing strategy where advertisers pay a fee each time their ad is clicked. Local PPC takes this concept and focuses it on targeting local audiences within a specific geographic area. This means your ads are shown to potential clients and candidates who are actively searching for staffing solutions in your area.

Why Local PPC?

Imagine having your staffing firm dominating search results whenever someone in your locality searches for staffing services. With local PPC, that’s precisely what you can achieve. Here’s how it can benefit your firm:

- Increased visibility. Your ads appear at the top of search engine results, ensuring maximum visibility to potential clients and job seekers in your area.

- High-quality leads. By targeting local audiences, you attract leads that are more likely to convert into clients or applicants, driving business growth.

- Cost effectiveness. Despite the impressive results, local PPC can be surprisingly affordable, making it accessible to staffing firms of all sizes.

Can you imagine being able to recruit nurses for $70? How about medical billers for $5?

Pure fiction you say? So did I, until I met Tom Andrews with Key Search Marketing. Tom’s firm specializes in PPC (pay per click) advertising for the staffing industry. They have been working with several staffing firms to use PPC for healthcare and financial recruiting. And so far, the results are astonishing!
